Chapter 2634: Best Chance

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

Qiu Yuanshan and Zang Renjie stood opposite each other in the ring,

Zang Renjie looked calm as he smiled knowingly, while Qiu Yuanshan looked solemn.

Everyone was waiting for the scene to unfold. Zang Renjie’s name was known by all, so the members of the Palmy Branch were not confident enough to face him.

Although Qiu Yuanshan was also a mad genius of sorts, it would still be quite difficult for him to defeat Zang Renjie. But the Elders were not too worried about that. They still had Xiao Yushu.

“This guy seemed capable. He should be able to put up a good fight!” Su Mo said secretly.Qiu Yuanshan had made a move on him the last time they were at the Earth-Based cave. His skills were not bad.

Hum

Right then, a colossal shadow appeared behind Qiu Yuanshan, like a vast expanse of land, complete with mountains and rivers.

At the same time, a thick and magnificent aura shrouded the air around them. This was a Rule power. Similar to the Rule of Gravity, boundless gravity blanketed the whole world, though slightly different from it. This was the Rule of Sky and Earth.

Instantly, Zang Renjie felt as though a continent was cracking down on him, with endless amount of thick soil continuously crushing him.

But his lack of expression remained the same. This could not contain him. In fact, far from it.

Boom!

Qiu Yuanshan blasted out with a punch. The grey fist print worked like a condensed star, engulfing the terrifying power and hitting Zang Renjie.

“You’re too weak!”

Zang Renjie grinned as he triggered the power of his Chaotic Five Elements, allowing the five colors to glow. He raised his hand, conjuring a huge five-colored hand. Ignoring the great Rule of Earth, he grabbed hold of the oncoming punches.

The five-colored palm was immensely powerful, containing the great Source Power of the five elements, entangling the void with invisible Rule powers

“Five Elements Source Power… the Five Element Rule!” Su Mo realized in shock that this man was training under the Five Elements.

If so, then why had he not fused the five elements to turn them into the Chaotic practice?

There had to be a reason why the man rejected the Chaotic practice.

Furthermore, training under the Five Elements combined with the Five Element Rule was indeed much more compatible.

Boom!

Suddenly, the five-colored hand grasped the fist print and crushed it fiercely.

“Qiu Yuanshan, I’ll give you one more chance!” Zang Renjie stood up and spoke casually.

“Don’t get too cocky!” Qiu Yuanshan said, feeling extremely heavy. His previous attack had been casually blocked by his opponent, which showed how strong Zang Renjie was.

“Oh, with my strength, I’ve been keeping a low profile for quite a while!” Zang Renjie said with a smile.

“Take this!”

Qiu Yuanshan had no time for nonsense as his body soared up into the sky. The Earth properties in his body were surging like a flood just waiting to happen as it brewed and boiled.

Suddenly, he drowned himself among the vast Earth-based Source Power, covering thousands of feet.

Qiu Yuanshan’s figure could no longer be seen, replaced by billowing Earth-based Energy.

Hum!

The void trembled. The vast Earth properties were quickly condensed into a huge mountain. The majestic power of this mighty mountain was so earth-shattering that its power of earth pervaded the wilderness.

Boom! Then, the mountain crushed the air like falling stars, suppressing Zang Renjie.

The audience could only stare. Even the Elders nodded in approval. Qiu Yuanshan’s attack was considered a true demonstration of their best disciples.

“It’s useless. You and I are on different levels!” Zang Renjie shook his head as his whole body shone with dazzling lights.

After that, he attacked again. Like a colorful beam of light, the five-colored fist landed a punch on the mighty mountain. Boom!

There was a loud blast. The mighty Mountain was quickly taken out and collapsed, revealing the Qiu Yuanshan within. He looked pale. He had not been injured, but he was not feeling well either.

The Elders of the Palmy Branch sighed. Qiu Yuanshan had lost.

“Qiu Yuanshan, do you admit defeat? Zang Renjie smirked. He had not moved one step at all. “No!”Qiu Yuanshan said stubbornly. He had trained in the way of the Earth Properties, so he had strong defences. Even if he could not defeat his opponent, he himself would not be easily defeated either.

“Alright, I’ll convince you once and for all!” Zang Renjia smiled coldly. His hands surged with the Five-Color Source Power, and he quickly conjured a five-colored bow and a five-colored long arrow.

Swoosh! Zang Renjia was incredibly experienced with a bow and arrow. The sharp arrow condensed with the Five Elements flickered with cold light.

Swish!

With a pull of the bowstring, the foot-long five-color arrow blasted out, aiming straight for Qiu Yuanshan.

The speed of the arrow was at its peak, to the point where Qiu Yuanshan could barely see it. He could only make out an imaginary flash of lightning striking the void.

“What?” Qiu Yuanshan began to sweat as he sensed great danger. The speed of the arrow was too fast. He could not escape in time.

In a flash, the Earth-Based Source Power on his body condensed into a thick earthen armor.

Boom!

The next moment, there was an explosion. Qiu Yuanshan’s body flew out of the way, blood spurting from his mouth, his earthen armor crumbling.

He had failed!

Qiu Yuanshan had failed miserably as he was tossed several feet away and landed in front of the Elders’ seats, pale beyond compare.

“Qiu Yuanshan, do you surrender now? Just so you know, I was holding back!” Zang Renjie said, looking proud. His bow and arrow had returned to his body as Source Power as he tucked his hands behind his back with an air of invincibility. “Hmmph!”Qiu Yuanshan grumbled as he returned to his position. Surrender? Over his dead body!

The Elders of the Palmy Branch saw this and sighed. It was not a pity that he had lost. Zang Renjie’s skills were indeed extraordinary.

“Haha, Renjie, it’s just a match. Control yourself. Don’t hurt our friends from the Palmy Branch,’ a youthful Elder in blue bellowed.

This old man was the Chief Elder of Qinghua Star Branch and went by the name of Reverend Tian Jue. He was Zang Renjie’s teacher.

“Rest assured, master. I know what I’m doing!” Zang Renjie said respectfully.

“Right!” Reverend Tian Jue nodded in approval. This time, victory was in their hands because no one of the same Order could beat Zang Renjie.

Only a small handful of candidates of the same rank from the thousands of branches in the Ancient Cloud Star Alliance could stand a chance of defeating him, much less the Palmy Branch. The Elders of the Palmy Branch looked disgusted upon hearing the dialogue between the two. Weren’t the two publicly humiliating their disciples?

“Yushu, you’re up!” Reverend Jin Wu ordered the person behind him, not being able to stand it any longer.

All eyes fell on Xiao Yushu. Zang Renjia’s power was too strong, perhaps only Xiao Yushu could keep him in check.

“Elder Jin Wu, I can’t fight him!”Xiao Yushu responded courteously. He was no longer Reverend Jin Wu’s disciple then, so he referred to the old man as ‘Elder’.

Fight Zang Renjie? No way! Firstly, Zang Renjie and him were cousins. Secondly, his skills could not match Zang Renjie. He would lose either way.

So he firmly refused.

The audience was stunned to hear that. The Elders did not take that well. Xiao Yushu admitted defeat before the fight even started! “Hahaha!

“Elder Jin Wu, what an apprentice you have!” “How wonderful! The disciple of the Palmy Branch don’t even dare to fight!” The Elders from the other dozen or so Elders laughed as well. They would not miss a chance to make the Palmy Branch look bad.

They did not know that Xiao Yushu had been expelled by Reverend Jin Wu.

“Yushu, have you two fought before?” Reverend Wu questioned him. Xiao Yushu might not have been his disciple any longer, but his swift admission of defeat certainly tarnished the Reverend’s reputation.

“Zang Renjie and I are cousins. We’ve fought countless times!”Xiao Yushu stated honestly.

The crowd understood now. It turned out that Xiao Yushu and Zang Renjie were related, and had exchanged blows many times before.

In that case, it made sense that he had admitted defeat straight away.

Zang Renjie snickered. What Xiao Yushu had said was true. They knew very well where the other’s capabilities lay. Silence fell on the Palmy Branch. Now that Xiao Yushu had admitted defeat, it seemed there was no one else who could win against Zang Renjie.

“Whoever defeats Zang Renjie, I shall bestow them with a Superior Artifact!” Reverend Jin Wu announced as he surveyed all the disciples.

“In addition to one Deva Elixir!” Priest Tian Hua added.

The disciples looked on with desire. The Superior Artifact and Deva Elixir were valuable Arcanas!

The Superior Artifact was supreme in and of itself. The Deva Elixir, on the other hand, was extremely precious, a rare treasure not seen in a thousand years. After consuming it, the mind would be immersed with everything in the world, allowing one’s martial arts to increase rapidly.

“Superior Artifact, Deva Elixir!” Su Mo said, tempted.

It was then that Su Mo realized Ling Chang had her eyes on him. She was hinting at him to get a move on. This was his best chance to shine.
